Manuel Neuer skips final training before USA warm‑up
Manuel Neuer missed the final training session ahead of Germany's World Cup rehearsal against the United States. The session was the last preparation before the friendly.
Neuer's anticipated return to the Germany national team will be delayed. He will not be available until at least Germany's opening World Cup match.
The United States friendly remains scheduled as the team's first test ahead of the tournament. Germany will proceed without Neuer in the goalkeeper role for that preparation.
The postponement means Neuer's first competitive appearance could be the tournament opener. The upcoming test match pits Germany against the United States.
